Macs pwn windows… and if he were running Microsoft on that laptop then he’d be using opensource…
For people who think macs are too expensive: My dad got a mac that could fit in a lunchbox and it didn’t cost much, and it does like 1000 times better than my mom’s windows which takes up 3/4 of her desk and probably costed just as much…
Also, I can play almost any games, download pretty much anything, and do pretty much anything a windows computer could do, and I can do it more easily on my Mac, and did I mention it’s smaller than a lunchbox? Argument succeed… YOU HAVE JUST BEEN PWNED
‘Wont’ certainly is a word, English no less, although unrelated to the context.
Irony is sweet.
That said, don’t be pedantic. His spelling and use of punctiation don’t affect the presence (or lack) of validity in his argument.
On another note: A big ‘WTF’ directed at “try downloading anything.”
Do you even understand what you’re trying to say?
If you or others can’t find a way to do something (e.g. finding/running quality software — even games — on a Mac), do avoid the assumption that it cannot be done, and easily.
first of all…. why does ur dad carry his laptop in his lunchbox?
and secondly why are you talking about the size of your mum’s windows at her desk? does she have a good view of your dad’s lunchbox?
“…if he were running Microsoft [Windows] on that laptop then he’d be using opensource [sic]…” Moron…Microsoft has no open source software.
You’re mom’s version of Windows takes up less than 3 square inches of the surface of a platter in a hard drive inside of a PC (read ibm compatible personal computer). The computer takes up the space. Windows is too small to physically see and so you fail.
Oh yeah, and advertising how small your dad’s computer is is not getting you anywhere.
Does anyone else with that Apple would never have perpetuated the myth that Macs and PCs are Apple and Microsoft with that ad campaign? Not that a few of the ads weren’t good, but just the idea that they are misinforming to get more market share.
you don’t have to download viruses onto a mac, they mess up without them. had to have the entire motherboard of my macbook replaced within the first month i had it.
my boss downloaded a virus today and asked me to make sure it was ok. i told her that since she was on a mac, the windows virus couldn’t run and didn’t hurt her computer.
FALSE. Macs get a better average framerate on the same games (usually). Take WoW for instance. 2.5x the performance of Winblows.
For those games that have not yet been ported to OSX, there’s this invention called…wait for it… DUAL BOOTING! DUH! I play Crysis on high gfx settings and get around 80 fps…. ON A MAC.
And where do you get this idea that downloading is weak on a Mac? Seriously….what have you been smoking??
SO….anyone who says Macs “suck” is either A) uninformed or B) an idiot.
Wow, you are a complete and utter retard and obvious have never tried playing WoW on the same machine running Mac OS and windows. With the same settings I would average about 50-60 fps in MacOS and 90-100 in Windows XP running WoW on my Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with a 256 MB GeForce 8600M GT. So I don’t know what sort of crack you’re smoking.
So what you’re saying is, it’s really the technology of the gigantic bulky cruddy towers that’s cruddy and not the OS… Still proves that Macs are better retard…
*buzzer* wrong. parallels is virtualization software. any program that requires an ACTUAL windows environment won’t run at all. how do i know, you might ask.
Trying playing a game? Call of Duty runs fantastically on my iMac, I’m almost positive you don’t know what you are talking about, you’re just biased. Downloading things on Mac are quicker then on Windows, I’m sure you love Vista don’t you.
Thank you. Somebody, at least, has a brain on this site. Microsoft deals mainly in operating systems, /not/ the hardware itself – the actual computers are left to companies like Dell and Gateway.
.. and (that’s the whole point) Apple. But still.. Since Apple is also the manufacturer of the 2nd commercial OS, I would have picked a non-Apple brand of laptop.
The presentation could be on powerpoint, but it looks furiously like Keynote for anyone who ever worked on a Mac… and Keynote would never run on windows.
Yeah sure, encouraging your user base to try out the competition’s superior OS en route to running your third-rate copy on hardware superior to the crap they’ve been using makes perfect sense.
We did win the war both against the British and then later we won a war FOR you guys. Why is it that you British folk always post anonymously, seriously, if you have something you want to say, why can’t you back it up and let everyone know who you are? What is it about being American that makes oreo a peasant, is it the fact that he doesn’t use overly homosexual words like mum? Is it our lack of an annoying accent that makes you all sound like your about to take us on a tour of a lavish home? Or is it our lack or ability to see the point in taking a break in the middle of a battle to heat up some tea? (one of your guys biggest mistakes when we fought for Freedom, I mean here you guys are washing your blouses and bloomers while we sneak up on you and take you out, seriously dumb move) Your country is an Epic Fail in itself. You should have kept Tony Blair a.k.a. Mini-Bush, at least he earned you guys some respect by making the world think you all had balls.
I’m actually not a fan of Bush. I’m quite intelligent actually, but as are you, I am bored, and enjoy stirring the pot. Which I seem to have done rather quickly.
You need to dust off your passport (you have one, right?) and go visit these countries you speak off and then dictate to us the flexibility of other Governments in relation to personal liberty. Modern America is more socially conformist than any other Western democratic country (probably why you’ve we’ve had an idiot running the show for so long). You prove it yourself by ’stirring the pot’ with homophobic, factually inaccurate sweeping generalizations.
Next time go surf for porn or something, I for one am bored with your ‘intelligent’ monologues.
ps…we wouldn’t have won the war of independence without LaFayette’s help vs the British, and he was French. Go read a book.
How stupid is that. Napoleon was born in Corsica, which is just as French as Paris. But coming from someone living in a country where 65% of the people can’t place Irak on a map even though they’ve a war going on there, nothing will surprise me…
it is americas thought that they have a right to controll the entire world and poke their noses into things that do not concern them that and there ridiculous twang in their accent
You make the mistake of assuming that this is Americas thought. This is the action of our leadership that we really have a huge lack of control over. I’m sure there are plenty of Americans who feel that we can run the world, but there are plenty that don’t. I’m sure whatever country your from is most likely the same. There are some of you who feel one way and some who feel the opposite. What makes America grand is that we are allowed to disagree, it’s countries that don’t allow you that freedom to disagree that are a problem.
And yes, the actions of our Government does play a large role in what’s wrong in the world today, but the actions of our government are effective because they are profitable to many people of many nationalities, so if you think your own governments don’t have a role in the current world situation, you’re dumb.
got bored around half way through… you write too much, but anyhu america is hardly a democratic country where everyone is equal… you don’t have free healthcare so if your poor you get to die quiker and it seems to be president now you have to be related to an ex-president and the media is run by the government alowing them to tell you whatever crap they come up withand to worship america what with all your annoying flag ceromoies.
here in GREAT Brittain (it’s not called that for no reason) we can say whatever we want don’t have the death penalty get free healthcare and even have a Scottish prime minister when Scottland has it’s own parliment
First of all, I laughed out loud at the idea of the government running the media. You could not be more wrong.
Secondly, aside from all your other numerous misspellings, you can’t even spell the name of your own country?
Finally, there is no such thing as “free” healthcare. How much tax do you pay in the UK compared to what is paid in the US? You’re still paying for it, you have just allowed the government to take your money and dictate your medical decisions. Not a better idea.
if you haddn’t noticed our government hasn’t wasted billions of any form of currency on rubbishy space missions which even when successful achive very little so less tax money goes there
OK but at least could you guys use less petrol (gasoline) so that the rest of us can have some it’s now the eqivilent of $ 10.88 a gallon (in case you think my maths is wrong it’s £1.45 per litre)
Allow me to be thew medium. Every country has it’s differences. Both the UK and America are very beautiful countries. We’ve made our own mistakes. We have had crap leaders and have VERY different opinions. Admit it, NO country is perfect.
No, I believe (If my memory serves me correctly…) that the United
States of America is a Constitutional Republic, which is SUPPOSED to
uphold basic freedoms and the Laws that we were founded on.
Of course, many of our Bureaucratic leaders believe in ignoring those
facts. And who pays the price? Its citizens. Not to mention outlying
countries. Remember: Democracy = Mob rule (More or Less).
And the majority of our citizens refuse to acknowledge the fact, that
we do not elect our presidents. Electoral colleges do. But answer me
this question: How are we supposed to trust that those we send to elect
to choose who we as citizens choose for? We can’t!
Elections and politics are all one in the same in form, and that form
is War.
Remember this (I can’t recall who quoted this first…):
“The first thing to die in war is, the Truth.”
Policy, and Politics in the USA needs a revolution, because the pigs in
D.C. right now (Democrat, and Republican alike) aren’t going to do
the job right.
*Phew*
Okay. I’ll shut up now. Just had to get that off of my mind.
This is a bad assumption. Our plan is actually to take over the world by controlling the oil industry. I would also like to point out that my pizza > your pizza. Also, Microsoft = Fail, their commercials are made on a mac… why? cause Final Cut Pro rules ftw. Thank you for your time
And then there are some Americans who would rather let the world take care of itself and stop wasting our time, money, manpower and resources on trying to fix other countries’ problems. Alas, there are those with hard-ons that want to ruin the U.S. and use religion as an excuse, thus, we must stay involved.
Actually, neither Bush nor Tony Blair etc. are pulling the strings/calling the shots in American or British foreign policy. The idea that our elections determine anything at all was firmly put to rest in 2000 when our election was hijacked. Bush, Blair, current P.M. Gordon Brown – they are just figureheads, reaping a certain amount of financial benefit from the position, and in the case of Bush and Blair, front men. The REAL power lies with the multinational corporations, who are answerable to no one. The myth that the American people (approx 281,000 in 2000 census) are of one homogenous mindset, one political opinion, one level of education or tolerance/intolerance, is a mistaken view. Witness the 51% who did NOT vote for Bush! Many people I personally know are vehemently against the war in Iraq. Some of them protest, stand outside in cold & rain, etc. to make known their opinion. (Not me, I am physically disabled). These people are not concerned with the patriot/traitor labelling war that has been propagated by the current administration. I can be loyal to America, appalled at 9/11, want the perpetrators brought to justice (whomever they are), equally appalled at America’s blatant intervention in the governments of many foreign countries to suit it’s financial benefit (starting just after post WW II, leading through the 50’s and 60’s, & up until this very day), horrified at the terrorist activity all over the world, but more than anything, I am loyal to the Constitution of the United States. (Damaged and betrayed as it is). We, the American people, have had our Rights (which a few short decades ago were proud to advertise) abrogated. And, most of our people have been hoodwinked, or hypnotized, into believing this curtailment of our freedoms are good for us. In the name of SECURITY. (Perhaps some Americans are just too stupid to notice that they were taken from us during the past 20 odd years). We, the People, don’t have a damn thing to do with what our country does.
End of monologue. Go back to your petty name calling.
Heh, we’re not all stereotypical snobs who stop to have a cup of tea every five minutes, y’know.
And if you knew the slightest thing about British politics, you’d know that it wasn’t up to us to keep Blair or not.
As for winning the WW, who was it that took half the war to get involved? And who was it that was in it, fighting from the beginning? While it is true that we needed America’s help, the war would have ended a damn sight sooner if you had “the balls” (as you so eloquently put it) to start fighting sooner.
So 2/3 of your argument is FAIL to begin with.
What lack of an annoying accent? Y’all think ya gots no accent?
Aye, right.
Some American accents are much more annoying than many English accents. And yes I mean English. All the sterotyping you listed there, only applies to England, so presumably you like many others assume that Britain = England and England = Britain.
Epic Geography FAIL.
Who won the war is irrelevant – thousands of people lost the fucking war. They died, for no good reason – since neither of our countries are any better now than they were before. Loser.
Gotta love Americans. Poor little misguided creatures! They always love to talk about how great they are and how they protect the world. Lets see how good you knowledge of history really is…did you know your “White House” was burnt down? Do you know who did it? No…maybe you should go and do a little research.
“and so the actual occupation of Washington lasted about 26 hours. President Madison and the rest of the government quickly returned to the city.”
Perhaps the fact that it lasted little more than a day, and how we quickly recovered, left less of an impact on our developing brains than the evening news.
Umm, how can you tell he’s British by the way? Australians (and occasionally Canadians) use the ‘Mum’ spelling too! Your ridiculous rant could have been for nothing!
And I have to say, nothing against Americans in general but the American accent has to be one of the most ear-grating on the planet.
As for the ‘Fight for Freedom’ you’re ranting about, presumably you’re talking about the American Revolution? Well, you threw our TEA into the harbour! I’m afraid you brought that war on yourselves.
Ya, your an idiot. Different countries and civilizations adopt different ways of spelling and a different adoption of words. For example Spain’s Spanish is not the same as Mexican Spanish. Stupid Brit.
Oh by the way Mac’s are awesome! I bought a MacBook just for the hardware and I was going to run Window’s on Bootcamp as soon as i got it…Guess what?! I stayed with OSX not only because it’s easy but because all the bloatware (I.E. programs that suck and don’t work), unnecessary forms of a program designed to do something then do it completely wrong, and extremely annoying viruses are a thing of the past. Yes I have to bootcamp all the games I want to play but it’s worth it at the price of having a more sophisticated os, plus I still have Finale, Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, not to mention all the OSX programs like Aperture and Ilife. Oh by the way all you microsoft fan boys look it up a laptop with the same hardware from sony is the same price as a macbook, or if your going for something that rivals a MBP Alienware computers are awesome but extremely expensive. Mac rocks end of story.
I think the idea is that Microsoft choose to use a Mac computer, whether or not they have MS Office or even a Microsoft OS running on it, fact is they are still using Mac. You could have any brand of laptop running Microsoft apps and/or OS – Sony, Dell etc.. but fact is, they chose to use Mac!! ha ha ha
Microsoft isn’t a brand of laptop, but if you buy ANY kind of laptop other than a mac, you will get microsoft software. But either way, i have to agree with “oreo” microsoft sucks!!!
Actually, it’s a “long-term business strategy” fail. Making Office for Mac (or iTunes of Windows) to infiltrate the other lot’s user base is one thing; openly endorsing your opponent’s competing product, introducing their hardware and software (the latter of which is directly competing with your own) to your own user base (who are used to buying cheap shonky crap from the likes of Dell whom you have bribed and bullied to push your shitty OS upon customers)…
It’s as if Nintendo were demonstrating their old SNES titles by running them on a PSP through emulation. Oh, wait, Rareware (under MS ownership) keep making Nintendo games to pay the bills, so I guess it’s nothing new
Dammit! If only I could be trapped in a neverending cycle of planned obsolescence, being forced to make piecemeal upgrades to my hardware every five minutes!
Why is it whenever Microsoft and Macintosh get brought together, you fucking geeks always have to make like some nigger gangs arguing over the differences.
If you don’t suffer viruses, malware, random illegal operation warnings and a five year catchup period to stuff like Exposé like the rest of us you’re not a real man.
oh i get it you’ve got that new rubbishy vista software havn’t you … you know they put that into a realy smart computer and it downgradded it’self back to XP because it realised it was faster more compatible with other software and just generally better
tbh, Vista isn’t all that bad. Sure demand for XP is still there because people don’t want to upgrade because of having to upgrade their systems to run it properly.
And to the beginning of this argument… Its called End User Opinon. If you don’t like it keep it to your fucking self. If i really wanted to know what was better i’d actaully go to someone who know what they are talking about and not some little kid who thinks he own the internet.
Give it some time, mac will be out-selling microsoft soon enough.
Their total sales have gone up 40-something percent in the past year alone.
welcome to 2008.
After reading way more comments on this pic than I should have, I think: what if someone just photoshopped it? haha… people believe everything they see on the internet…
wow, retarded. Balmer gave a presentation after the apple douches, they left it up there after they tried to explain why you should buy a 399$ Iphone, then an additional 150$ a year just for internet.
Microsoft makes the operating system windows not the cimputers ad macs can use windows they are probably using windows on a mac because the hardware is more reliable. and the only reason all u mac users tryto put down microsoft is becuse theier operating system is superior and u are all just in secure and dont know how to use computers so u go with the user friendly ones
Haha They dont get viruses that way LOL
Microsoft doesn’t wanna get infected by viruses so they use macs lol. Microsoft workers are smarter than they look LoL.
Sad true but… fallacy.
True: “apple users get so few virusses because it’s not an interesting group for virus-coders”
But: mac os x is Unix. Unix is self-secure just because use an ancient (40 year) security layout based on users account and security privileges. the same happen on windows since win-nt but they use an flexible layout wich give a normal user administratives capabilities. Conclussion: It’s easier code a virus to mess with windows than any Unix-based system (like Mac).
Haw haw, FAIL. It’s called BSD, dumbass. If Mac OSX was based on Linux, Apple would have to provide it for download free of charge (they could still charge for CD/DVD installation media, manuals, and support.) The BSD license says, “You can keep changes you make to this stuff to yourself.” The GPL says, “You have to share every change you make to this.” One license safeguards freedom for the developer, the other protects the freedoms of the user.
research fail
Those linux distros that cost are only like that because they come bundled with software that costs money, but you actually still pay nothing for the actual operating system itself.
That’s ancient in computer time. Especially when ENIAC was built only 65 years ago. That’s like ENIAC being the beginning of the Earth and UNIX being the end of the dinosaurs.
Evidence shows that the earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago, and the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. In your analogy, if 65 years ago is equivalent to the formation 4.5 billion years ago, then the end of the dinosaurs would be near the end of July 2007.
In the interest of balance, it should be taught in schools that many people believe that God created ENIAC and all other forms of computer software 4,000 years ago.
Inaccurate explanation fail. Neither user/group nor ACL based permissions are inherently more or less secure, despite what anyone may say. It’s how you use them. For instance, Ubuntu gives the normal user admin capabilities, you just type in your own password again when you need to do admin stuff. But most exploits are NOT due to lax user privilege restrictions, they are due to BUGS. Microsoft has more BUGS and they don’t fix them as fast, that is the real reason it is easier to write a virus for Windows.
Nope, it is not bugs. The vast, vast majority of viruses and trojans do not take advantage of any bugs in the OS. They take advantage of stupid users who download and run infected shareware or other malicious programs (porn sites and warez sites are filled to the brim with bogus software that just installs trojans and viruses).
The more serious viruses that infect the core system on Windows work solely because almost every single Windows PC is running with a user with full Administrator privileges. A lot of quite useful/interesting trojans and viruses don’t even need Administrator privileges, though. Even non-privileged users can run spam trojans or programs that report private information or ad popup programs on the user’s data.
Linux is more resistant to such things solely because it’s such a major pain in the ass to install third party software. There is no easy way to just grab a program from a website and install it. You are forced to install software from the distribution’s software repository (unless you want to go through a lot of extra work), so it’s a lot harder for viruses and trojans to be introduced to a user’s computer.
Actually, the “it’s not an interesting group for virus-coders” is the main reason. Most viruses are written by true geeks who therefore use a Linux system. Therefore they don’t want to risk fucking up their own systems and possibly remove the ability to fuck up other people’s systems.
In conclusion, no significant viruses exist for Linux because the people who write viruses use Linux.
History fail. Windows is built on MS-DOS–an operating system designed at a time when a computer was a “one-user” machine. Some people didn’t anticipate using them in networks and so security was not built in. When networking and the internet came along, security had to be tacked on rather than built-in; their installed base was too big to move. Microsoft has been trying to tack it on ever since. Conversely, networking and the need for security were givens by 1984 when Mac OS came along. It has always been harder to hack Mac OS for that reason, so no one wasted the effort.
It’s still difficult or someone would have done something on a scale like Blaster or Sasser already.
History fail fail. Windows XP and Vista are not based off of MS-DOS, they are based off of NT, which was built from the ground up as a networked server OS. The last Microsoft OS to use MS-DOS was Windows Me (may it burn in Hades).
Problem is that the NT systems are still based off of the same user setup. A retarded monkey could install something without the admin’s permission onto a NT system and royally screw it up, while on the other hand a unix/linux based operating system has to have root access, or administrator access for all you nubs who have no clue what root is, to change any system files and accomplish what a normal virus sets out to do. The only real way you get easy virus access like you would on a windows box is if the person who set up the unix/linux OS logs in as root every time he boots, which is just idiotic.
“networking and the need for security were givens by 1984″…
First Mac (released in 1984) didn’t have networking (at least in the OS itself). No networking or security were in the original design, they were just hacked above the mess the classic Mac OS was. Also note that Mac OS 9 != Mac OS X.
1. ananymos misspells “Anonymous” as “Anonymos”
2. Anonymous corrects ananymos’s erroneous spelling of “Anonymous”
3. Another anonymous user declares a fail on Anonymous’s part, thinking that Anonymous was correcting ananymos’s use of his *own* name, when in fact he was correcting ananymos’s use of *his* name (Anonymous’s).
Therefore, the anonymous third poster failed at declaring a double fail, which means he triple fails.
Microsoft’s share in Apple is not insignificant. In many ways it is good business practice for them to use Apple computers; it essentially costs them less as the profits feed back to Microsoft.
Potential Syntax Error Accusation Fail. I’m think they’re using “graduated” to me “To arrange or divide into categories, steps, or grades.” As in the many software categories that Microsoft plans to offer in BLDI in the future.
Although I can’t rule out that they screwed up the slide either.
Apples hardware is superior.
A top of the line PC costs more than a Mac of the equivalent power (which sounds wierd until you think about it, even though mac seem so damn expensive).
Apple OS’s are less prone to virus attacks.
Microsoft Os’s can run games.
In the end it comes down to which os you want to run…on Mac hardware.
PS – I’m not really focusing this anywhere. Read it if you wish. It’s my opinion, so don’t be offended.
WoW runs perfectly on linux (in WINE or Cedega) or so I’m told.
I myself currently use Windows solely because of the games. I’m going to get a laptop and put Ubuntu or PcLinuxOS on it.
—
I have a dream.
I dream where there is no Microsoft.
Where there is no anti-competitive business, or stupid profiteering schemes such as one that happened a while ago, where MC were planning to charge Dual Core users twice as much because “They’re using it on two computers”.
—
When Microsoft dies, who will be queueing up to spit on their collective marketing grave? I will be. XD
A top of the line PC cannot cost more than a Mac of equivalent power because such a beast of a Mac does not–cannot, because of the way Apple does things–exist. The video processing alone on a top of the line PC would rival the processing power of the CPUs on high-end Macs. (Yes, there’s really that much oomph in a setup with triple GTX 260s.)
I’ve got a top of the line iMac (3.0 ghz quad core) and it is amazing. I also have vista on a laptop and it is amazing, but for a different reason. Vista is the worst thing microsoft has ever done.
Windows Millenium Edition was the most stable Windows environment for
home PC’s. It was based on the Windows 2000 core, which was the most
stable Windows OS ever. I was very reluctant to switch to XP, but as I
spend a lot of time building custom computers, I switched to XP and eventually Vista just to learn them.
And no I’m not againt Apple computers or Mac OS. I just find the people that defend them until the cows come home to extraordinarily obnoxious.
Wild inaccuracy fail! ME has nothing to do with 2000 (though the names appear to mean the same). It’s basically the Windows98 core, sitting on MS-DOS, only not as usable as 98SE. Windows 2000 (which I am running at this very moment), is NT technology.
At that rate, FAIL 1.3 should launch in about 2015. In computer years, that’s a long time. Perhaps MS doesn’t fail as much as people think.
Also, I’m willing to bet 80-90% of you are making these comments on a computer that runs a Microsoft OS.
I see your point, and I admit I probably was mistaken with the analogy.
You are possibly right, and I know that a top of the line PC can be anything. THe best PC in the world, if you bought the best (and congrously expensive) parts you could be paying in up to 5 digits. Macs to not offer such a high degree of power, but they are more hardware efficient; Taking less power to do the same jobs as PCs.
Anyway, thank you for the comment.
PS – I was probably meaning to say “A top-of-the-line Mac costs less than a PC of the equivalent power”. And thus the argument is solved!
Mac translation of component failure: Failure occurs outside 1-year warranty, no repair extension program available for widespread failure of component. Buy a new computer.
PC translation of component failure: Component covered under 3-year warranty by manufacturer. Replace component. Keep on computin’!
Spoken as an AASP who’s given more bad news to Apple owners than PC owners.
When I tried to do virtually anything on any of the six Macs I’ve used at work, they’ve exploded (metaphorically, at least). The last one I used was the best – in the three years I used it, the hard drive only crashed once, which made it about twice as reliable and durable as any of the others.
Thankfully we’ve recently switched to Dell laptops so I can do things like use web browsers without having them crash “unexpectedly” half a dozen times a day.
Huh, when I put Vista on a Mac I was actually able to run the software I needed for work on it. Then I missed my right-click button (and don’t go telling me that “ctrl-click” is just as good, because that requires two hands rather than one finger), sold the Mac and am happily running Windows.
It’s not a fake, it was a talk by Steve Ballmer that took place at UCL (Université catholique de louvain) (Louvain-la-neuve) about 2 month ago. I was at the presentation but Steve did’nt use the laptop, it was provided by the host as said above…
MicroSoft is eating the apple. They are much more powerfull and everybody love them. The are like a superhero with their great computers. This Mac is used only to show how much apple sucks.
I don’t see the fail. You’d expect Microsoft to test their programs for Macintosh. So surely there are quite a lot of Macintosh computers at Microsoft.
There is no fail in the Apple computer at a microsoft function. However, has anyone else noticed the title of the function? “Business Leadership and Digital Innovation for Future Graduated?”
Future Graduated WHAT?! Looks like a grammar fail to me!
I can’t see the fail.
Windows Vista and Windows XP is running fine on a Mac Book Pro. I can even run OS X.5 and Vista in parallel on my iMac. This is a total WIN. You can’t do this with a standard PC (without OS X hacks *g*).
It’s difficult to take in all these Microsoft fanboys trying to defend them. Some serious Stockholm syndrome going on here!
Saying that Microsoft’s CEO tacitly endorsing their main competitor’s product whilst lecturing about business leadership is not fail is kind of like saying there’d be nothing remotely fail about Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrating the library of SNES games available on Wii by publicly emulating them on a PSP.
The only question to my mind is which group are more fail – Microsoft for helping Apple sell one of their flagship products, or Microsoft users who still rush to their spouses defence after decades of “falling down the stairs”…
Or maybe you fail? There is ONE major difference in the two situations. Which is basically the difference that makes this a pretty good idea, while the Miyamoto example is not so good. Giving your competitor a thumbs-up = bad idea. But Apple and Microsoft aren’t competitors in hardware. If he was running OS X on the computer, yes, it would be a fail.
All this is, is a nod at them saying: Yeah, your hardware is pretty good.
Miyamoto and Nintendo are fighting against Sony in both hardware and software, which is why endorsing Nintendo software on Sony hardware is bad, because that could move market shares from Nintendo’s hardware to Sony’s hardware. However… If Microsoft endorses Apple hardware, it’s not as if people will instantly start buying less microsoft hardware… as Microsoft doesn’t make hardware.
I’ve seen this myself – at Designertopia. It was a 2-day seminar aimed at designers, encouraging them to try Expression tools. Most of the speakers, including MS people, were using MacBook Pros … but they were running Vista under BootCamp. They deemed the machines to be the most solid with Vista. Another way of looking at it is that Vista is not stable on a lot of PCs, though
I know.. These threads are usually fun, but this one is all

You can’t tell which operating system this computer is using based on this image. It has a power-point style image taking up the whole screen. And since both operating system use this type of program there is no for sure way to say which operating system this computer is using.
you have to admit it is a little silly to have an Apple product at a Microsoft function.
regardless of hardware/software, the public still views them as “corporate enemies”
The only market in which they could seriously be pitted against one another as “enemies” would be the iPod vs. Zune battle. While the zune is a superior piece of hardware, the iPod wins because it hit the market much earlier and has superior aftermarket support.
You think the Zune is superior to the iPod touch?… Or a 160GB Classic? Err, is that because of its wonderful “music sharing” features? Gimme a break, I’ll take Senuti and a USB-to-dock cable or a headphone Y-splitter over a battery-consuming WiFi DRM-ridden music transfer any day of the week… And while on the subject of WiFi, the zune doesn’t even have a fully featured browser like that of the iPod Touch (if you don’t count Flash support, which isn’t sorely missed anyway).
Fanboyism win? (Full disclosure: I own an 80 GB iPod Classic, and while there are certainly some “features” the Zune and other competitors have which it lacks, I’d still take it over any of those. However, I hardly consider myself a typical fanboy, as I try my best to play with each new gadget which arrives at my favourite electronics store; usual conclusion: most of them suck a lot on their own, let alone when compared to the iPod. FWIW, I never tried the Zune, as isn’t even avaliable in Europe, but that fact, in and of itself, is preety telling about its overall quality and popularity.)
Maybe Zune doesn’t have a web browser or cover flow… but those are the only true advantages of iPod Touch over the second generation Zunes in my opinion. The touchscreen just says “fingerprint magnet” to me. As for the iPod Classic and all the other variations that have the wheel, they all fail compared to the second generation Zune. What good is a circular control for navigating a linear GUI? I enjoy a world where up means up and down means down… it’s more “simple and intuitive” (to borrow key words from Mac vs. PC) than counterclockwise means up and clockwise means down. The WiFi Zune-to-Zune transfer isn’t that important to me, but the wireless syncing is a great plus. I still have yet to see a Zune 80 in stores, but that’s because they’re selling as quickly as stores can get them in stock. I have, however, seen a display full of unpurchased iPod Touches.
Funny, but I think that’s actually a photoshopped Dell – apple never made a two tone black and silver laptop – then went straight from black to silver to white, always ALWAYS solid colors (except for the hobbit iMacs, those were the only colored and two-toned apples)
I think it should read, “Business Leadership and Digital Innovation for Future, Graduated”, but what was presented was a run-on, or something like that. Still, I don’t think it makes sense. I dunno. I’m playing devil’s advocate.
I’m with you, Anonymous. This is the most disgusting forum I’ve ever seen — just a bunch of losers letting out thier pent up angst by pointing out spelling mistakes and Photoshopped photographs. You’re all subhuman. Do yourselves all a favor and have a suicide party.
My husband works for Microsoft and from some of the stories I hear, it’s no wonder they’re using Apples. He has an Apple and a Linux box on which he does his “real” work. If MS wants him to do something specifically for MS, he uses a PC with Vista. LOL
I don’t know if anyone else agrees or has noticed this, But I think it looks like the computer’s been added into the picture or something. Like with some sort of picture-altering technology, if thats possible.
I don’t think this is a legitimite or real picture because it doesn’t look like one…
Still don’t quite understand how that technology would work..
Once you take a Photograph it has been taken. and you can’t “edit” it.
Unless there is something like a CD drive where you insert the photograph you took into the computer and then you can change the content of it somehow, i suppose. If that is what this Photoshop thing does.
Hey guess what???
I was kidding in every single one of my posts above in this quote!!!
And you all believed I was for real!!
I mean seriously, you think that there would really be someone who didn’t know what photoshop or digital photography was??
LOLOLOLOL
Man this is the funniest thing in days!!!!
Mac=fail(cant play games, plus mac commercials and fans are retarded. “I couldnt even figure out how to turn it on”-actual quote from a mac commercial in refference to PCs) Plus isnt a mac a PC too (Personal Computer)
Vista=fail
XP=win now that it works.
Win 95= epic win
do you people realize that MS products are software based? Not hardware based. There are plenty of MS products that will run on Apple hardware, and Apple OS X.
I think that the point of this photo is : The creator of Apple had once a society with Bill Gates. They split this, and become to be ‘enemies’. Bill stole the apple’s software and created Windows. This is allmost the history.
I believe that… apple and Microsoft just don’t combine.
sorry for the awful english. I’m had no classes of english. xD
u guys all fail. this was from WWDC08 when they announced the new iPhone 3G. if u watched it, u wuld understand y Microsoft’s logo is there. Apple actually creates programs that are similar to wat Microsoft already has.
That is NOT a MAC computer. It is a dell or something with that apple logo pasted, photoshoped into it. There is no mac that looks like that computer. Which means the apple logo was pasted onto a windows laptop probably AFTER the event in question….
You know, it does my heart good to see that at least one person had the sense to look beyond the zit on the end of their nose. I suspect, however, that Lauren was being generous in overlooking the fact that the sentence presented had all the content and sentence structure of a colorfully painted garden gnome.
One assumes that this was supposed to be a presentation generated by an allegedly literate adult with a message that was (also allegedly) directed to a literate audience.
Of course, looking at the other comments, I’m not surprised at this. Herein lies the true ‘fail’.
I hate to point out the obvious…but MS is a SOFTWARE company (as has been stated before in this thread). Windows is NOT their only product. They sell mac specific software, such as Office for mac. In fact, MS Word was originally a mac software. It was released for mac four years before it was released for Windows….
um i believe this was photoshopped, check the exif data.
this was at CES this last year and i remember the laptop he used being an HP…
i attended this conference…
and for all you fanboys of both companies (Apple, MS) heres a solution:
Mac makes better laptops. you dont ever build your own, and when you want to upgrade you buy a new one. this is their buisness model for both laptops and desktops, but it only works well with laptops.
BUT their desktops are overprices and become worthless within a few years with no way to recover them. (replacing parts with more up to date ones)
Microsoft makes better desktops. You can upgrade them when parts get out of date or if something brakes, and you can build your own.
BUT their laptops suck becuase the parts they use for pre built computers are generally sub-par and break very quickly.
Ok microtards… really… how many bugs, patches, and hotfixes do you really need to understand that whoever can afford a mac will have one (Bill Gates included) Should I remind everyone of the latest upgrade to W-Vista… Windows XP. Really? Or should I bring up the fact that all of a sudden small things like your battery meter or volume tray icon dont come up? Just because its cheap it doesnt mean its good, there is nothing good with windows. If you want flexible, get a pc, install linux in it, if you want a decent laptop, get a fucking Mac.
Argument Fail. Be done with this shit already… (CTRL+ALT+DEL)x2
I would love to participate in this Microsoft vs. Apple failure comment session, but unfortunately I’m not that retarded. Apple kicks butt. End of story. xD
windows and mac both fail mac isnt powerful enough for everything and windows isnt as user-friendly. so stop all the annoying arguements you idiotically retarded spelling nerds and enjoy the pictures hypocratical irony? it is talking about windows future and he uses a mac. what is better than that? basically i just burned anyone who tried to promote either side. YOU ALL FAIL…
I recently saw this happen X 10 – all of the freelancers were running MS’s huge show on Macs right on the front row all during rehearsals under the noses of all of the key speakers.
Microsoft actually produces Windows for Mac; therefore, they are not a competitor in this market. They are simply a competitor to Apple’s Mac operating system. Microsoft actually makes money by providing Windows for Mac. This is the biggest goddamn fail of a fail pic ever.
You guys are stupid or wat? Microsoft is smart… It shows that even if you use apple you still need microsoft softwares…. Just FYI Microsoft doesnt built computers they create softwares….
Don’t know if this has been mentioned or not but you do know that this photo has been photoshoped right? Think about it, what macbook has that exterior design? None.
Uh my macbookpro has this exterior design..
I think the ‘design’ you are referring to there is the shadow from the Microsoft sign.
Nice observation skills there..
But anyway, Microsoft could also be showing off their mac software.. which they would obviously display on a mac, so there is no problem with microsoft using a Mac.. it’s not fail at all..
Mac computer run on the same intel chipsets that ordinary pcs run on. A mac is different, because Apple was like “FUCK YOU INTEL! MAKE US CUSTOM SHIT!” and now apple has a cpu shaped like a duck pond so it’ll fit with the heat sink. At tremendous expense. And they pass the savings on to you.
I’m gonna go write a virus to ass-fuck OSX.
Also, don’t point out grammatical errors because i’m an engineering student so i don’t give a shit.
Interesting how an Obvious Photo shop can strike such conversation. I not a Mac person and I know Mac’s never looked like that. Of course I own a gateway/emachine that does. Anyone advocating for Mac that can’t tell that that is not a mac ***FAIL***
has anyone noticed that the pic is photo shopped?
you can see where they cropped a different picture cause its darker where the apple is but around the edges it isnt
look where the laptop borders the desk, you can see an uneven white line where they cropped it
They already did. If you had only decided to waste the last 20 minutes of your life reading all the previous posts, like myself, you would know that it isn’t photoshopped.
failures i would agree, i have never laughed my ass of so hard just reading the fucking shit u guys write… i had all my friends read it to, they laughed their asses off, you guys want to know why everyone laughed? its cause u guys have nothing better to do with your time than fight each other over some stupid shit like this.
my opinion.. mac and pc are =, very = in fact because they have there own advantages, i cant pick a fav. because when i do i turn into a once sided brainless geek you idiots … so sad.
just pick both and grow the fuck up so we can move on
BTW this whole fucking topic failed -_- sry guys but its true
PS- loved how it went from how computer to countries and back and fourth… who the fuck cares?
I have some bad news for you squabblers. They had the mac so that they could run Mac keynote. My Brother-in-law did tech support for the show. The presentation hardware was coupling properly with vista when they were doing setup. One of the guys had a Macbook, and they exported the show to use in keynote. The presentation hardware worked fine with the Mac. You may continue to squabble for as long as you like, but its settled. Major Microsoft Fail
Microsoft used an apache server for their microsoft.com site still days after the first relase of win server 2003. I think it shows how a flag works. A flag may looks good but what are their skills?
No argument about it. Definitely Apple win. If anyone argues, Steve Jobs and I will personally come and burn the apple logo into your front lawn. Anyone? No? Okay.
This is not a FAIL, microsoft is a laptop brand… And surely they wouldn’t use MacOS ’cause people would see it at the presentation… Soh there’s no problem.
Sorry ’bout my english, I’m brazilian, but I think you can understand =D
What people are saying is that Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Apples Steve Jobs have a past and Microsoft using an Apple product is contradictory to what people would assume. Either way, can you even say “for future graduated”? wouldnt it be for future graduates?
An extreme shortage of keyboard shortcuts, inconsistency on keyboard shortcuts, and a poor keyboard design, capped by a poor implementation of Unicode support and lack of tools for supporting typing in alternate languages…
lol. Anyone out there who believes this is not a FAKE???
You can’t seriusly think that Ms won’t hide the apple logo in the very unlikely situation in which they would use a macintosh…
Fail = People seemingly finding the need to constantly argue over the efficacious nature of a Mac vs. that of a PC. It really doesn’t matter whether you own one or the other and it’s not really much of a reason to argue.
It is amazing how rude people are! Why is it impossible to read comment blogs where people are expressing their views politely? Calling people idiots and retards id SO uncalled for. If you want to have a debate, that is fine but don’t be offensive and crude. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I won’t even state mine because I don’t want to be made fun of relentlessly and personally attacked for having an opinion. Have some courtesy for other people please.
lol the funny thing is that i’ll be 95% of the mac fanboys on here that are bashing microsoft have an xbox360 and halo, microsoft still as fail as you are proclaiming, boys? And like many others have said, how can mac win so well if almost everyone who uses mac puts windows on it one way or another?
haha this made me laugh…
shows microsoft workers realise how crappy microsoft are…
the user could actually have windows running on that apple… mind blowing concept. Since when did microsoft become a brand of laptop?
shut up
argument fail
agreed.
Epic fail indeed. XD
Epic non-fail. Apples suck, try playing a game, or downloading anything. They’re good for videos, music, and pictures.
And also for anything that a PC can do, thanks to Parallels.
The only thing that sucks about Apples is their price, and their distinctive lack of orange flavor.
So what you are saying is, they have to admit they suck and by imitating a pc? I have never heard of Ferrari trying to imitate Yugo.
Macs pwn windows… and if he were running Microsoft on that laptop then he’d be using opensource…
For people who think macs are too expensive: My dad got a mac that could fit in a lunchbox and it didn’t cost much, and it does like 1000 times better than my mom’s windows which takes up 3/4 of her desk and probably costed just as much…
Also, I can play almost any games, download pretty much anything, and do pretty much anything a windows computer could do, and I can do it more easily on my Mac, and did I mention it’s smaller than a lunchbox? Argument succeed… YOU HAVE JUST BEEN PWNED
costed=not a word
you=pwned
wont= not a word
try WON’T
don’t correct people’s english if yours sucks.
and for the record macs can dl things, you can play games on them, and they’re just better than pcs in very possible way.
I just use Ubuntu
eveything works
‘Wont’ certainly is a word, English no less, although unrelated to the context.
Irony is sweet.
That said, don’t be pedantic. His spelling and use of punctiation don’t affect the presence (or lack) of validity in his argument.
On another note: A big ‘WTF’ directed at “try downloading anything.”
Do you even understand what you’re trying to say?
If you or others can’t find a way to do something (e.g. finding/running quality software — even games — on a Mac), do avoid the assumption that it cannot be done, and easily.
Fail at failing! Err… well spoken, I mean. I’m seriously considering switching to a mac.
“wont= not a word
try WON’T
don’t correct people’s english if yours sucks.
and for the record macs can dl things, you can play games on them, and they’re just better than pcs in very possible way.”
If you’re going to be a grammar nazi, atleast use capital letters.
(not being a grammar nazi here, just makin a point)
lol you think macs are better than windows..no argument needed, your funny
first of all…. why does ur dad carry his laptop in his lunchbox?
and secondly why are you talking about the size of your mum’s windows at her desk? does she have a good view of your dad’s lunchbox?
*Sexual joke inserted here*
Photoshop is not a game.
no but you can get money with it
“…if he were running Microsoft [Windows] on that laptop then he’d be using opensource [sic]…” Moron…Microsoft has no open source software.
You’re mom’s version of Windows takes up less than 3 square inches of the surface of a platter in a hard drive inside of a PC (read ibm compatible personal computer). The computer takes up the space. Windows is too small to physically see and so you fail.
Oh yeah, and advertising how small your dad’s computer is is not getting you anywhere.
Does anyone else with that Apple would never have perpetuated the myth that Macs and PCs are Apple and Microsoft with that ad campaign? Not that a few of the ads weren’t good, but just the idea that they are misinforming to get more market share.
Lancer, do you know the meaning of ‘open source’? Windows works on any Mac. And to play a game on a Mac, you’ll have to boot it up with Windows. :/
you never heard of fiat then.
an apple is a Personal Computer fool. you’ve been brainwashed
OH MY GOSH, I CAN’T DOWNLOAD THINGS ON A MAC.
Yeah. I can’t download viruses. In your ear, Microtard.
you don’t have to download viruses onto a mac, they mess up without them. had to have the entire motherboard of my macbook replaced within the first month i had it.
Yeah it is pretty common when you DL midget porn
my boss downloaded a virus today and asked me to make sure it was ok. i told her that since she was on a mac, the windows virus couldn’t run and didn’t hurt her computer.
FALSE. Macs get a better average framerate on the same games (usually). Take WoW for instance. 2.5x the performance of Winblows.
For those games that have not yet been ported to OSX, there’s this invention called…wait for it… DUAL BOOTING! DUH! I play Crysis on high gfx settings and get around 80 fps…. ON A MAC.
And where do you get this idea that downloading is weak on a Mac? Seriously….what have you been smoking??
SO….anyone who says Macs “suck” is either A) uninformed or B) an idiot.
And that has nothing to do with hardware? just the operating system, ok
great technical skills, you must have a degree on MIT, on apple fanboyism!
Wow, you are a complete and utter retard and obvious have never tried playing WoW on the same machine running Mac OS and windows. With the same settings I would average about 50-60 fps in MacOS and 90-100 in Windows XP running WoW on my Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with a 256 MB GeForce 8600M GT. So I don’t know what sort of crack you’re smoking.
So what you’re saying is, it’s really the technology of the gigantic bulky cruddy towers that’s cruddy and not the OS… Still proves that Macs are better retard…
If I had a nickel for every bit of sense you haven’t made, I’d be able to get a large coffee at Starbucks.
Dual Booting, then arn’t you just giving up on your mac and going to
windows. think before you type
not if you dual boot into ubuntu and run wine.
From experience, I believe WINE doesn’t live up to the hype, unless they have changed something significantly in the last 6 months or so.
wow lots of gay fan boys/girls/its here
Yes, yes. We get it. You love your PC. PCs rule, Macs drool.
You know, I remember doing this sort of product loyalty, “I love my system so much that yours sucks” BS many years ago… WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Fail.
They’re porting Gears of War for mac…
*buzzer* wrong. parallels is virtualization software. any program that requires an ACTUAL windows environment won’t run at all. how do i know, you might ask.
hmmm…
I work for apple
CORRECT! That’s why there is bootcamp.
And that’s when you ask yourself: why did I buy two OS’s when I was getting along fine with one?
that y we have windows bootcamped
Trying playing a game? Call of Duty runs fantastically on my iMac, I’m almost positive you don’t know what you are talking about, you’re just biased. Downloading things on Mac are quicker then on Windows, I’m sure you love Vista don’t you.
Yes, Macs make your bandwidth caps just DISAPPEAR.
that guy actually has a good point
Or maybe they’ve got a Linux distro running on there, and consequently
have both Linux, Windows & Mac running simultaneously…
Um both implies two.
Linux + Windows + Mac = 3.
Count FAIL
LMFAO
my nose 2nd’s this notion
or they can have something better like Linux
wrong, microsoft makes software. windows is not the same as microsoft, therefore failblog fail
Thank you. Somebody, at least, has a brain on this site. Microsoft deals mainly in operating systems, /not/ the hardware itself – the actual computers are left to companies like Dell and Gateway.
.. and (that’s the whole point) Apple. But still.. Since Apple is also the manufacturer of the 2nd commercial OS, I would have picked a non-Apple brand of laptop.
Perhaps this was a presentation on how Windows runs on a Mac.
i don’t think so
me neither
That’s because you’re not smart.
Maybe they were showing office for Mac?
Or maybe the presentation was on “Business Leadership and DigitalInnovation for Future Graduated”.
Read Fail
Title Fail
Right? thats what I figured. Future Graduated? Either that is the fail or that’s some pretty graduated English I don’t get.
That’s presumptuous and uncalled for.
You do know Microsoft owns 49% of Apple right?
how do you know that?
Microsoft would be advertising its competitors computers then.
The presentation included a section on running Windows on Mac hardware.
The presentation could be on powerpoint, but it looks furiously like Keynote for anyone who ever worked on a Mac… and Keynote would never run on windows.
Point taken?
Epic Tard…
neither do i
window can run on the mac you need to download boot camp in order to do that
but apple laptops run windows OS ssooososo much better than any commercial windows able laptop
apple FTW
Yeah sure, encouraging your user base to try out the competition’s superior OS en route to running your third-rate copy on hardware superior to the crap they’ve been using makes perfect sense.
You’re a moron.
Actually, Lindsay, Microsoft gets a decent portion of its earnings by selling software for Apple users.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/Office2008/default.mspx
that’s funny — I have a Microsoft Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse .. among others. Fail.
Microsoft limits apple’s ability as a computer. Just like your mom limits the time I spend doing anything else.
Spelling Fail, its mum not mom. Stupid American peasant
ahem, spelling fail yourself. you should have used “it’s” not “its.”
Correction fail. It’s punctuation, not spelling.
Please start all sentences with a capital letter. I also believe “ahem, spelling fail yourself” can be reversed to make more sense.
Hey you stupid brit, we won the f’ing war
We did win the war both against the British and then later we won a war FOR you guys. Why is it that you British folk always post anonymously, seriously, if you have something you want to say, why can’t you back it up and let everyone know who you are? What is it about being American that makes oreo a peasant, is it the fact that he doesn’t use overly homosexual words like mum? Is it our lack of an annoying accent that makes you all sound like your about to take us on a tour of a lavish home? Or is it our lack or ability to see the point in taking a break in the middle of a battle to heat up some tea? (one of your guys biggest mistakes when we fought for Freedom, I mean here you guys are washing your blouses and bloomers while we sneak up on you and take you out, seriously dumb move) Your country is an Epic Fail in itself. You should have kept Tony Blair a.k.a. Mini-Bush, at least he earned you guys some respect by making the world think you all had balls.
Wow. Pointless arguing about “my country is better than your country” win.
To which they just might reply,
“..Oh YEAH?”
Uy c0ck nose!
If he’s anonymous how the bejesus can you tell he’s British? Riddle me that one Dick Tracy!
“Lack of an annoying accent” – is possibly THE funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
So you’re a big fan of Bush aye? No wonder you come across as an absolute Imbecile. Please keep your asshatery to your self.
I’m actually not a fan of Bush. I’m quite intelligent actually, but as are you, I am bored, and enjoy stirring the pot. Which I seem to have done rather quickly.
You need to dust off your passport (you have one, right?) and go visit these countries you speak off and then dictate to us the flexibility of other Governments in relation to personal liberty. Modern America is more socially conformist than any other Western democratic country (probably why you’ve we’ve had an idiot running the show for so long). You prove it yourself by ’stirring the pot’ with homophobic, factually inaccurate sweeping generalizations.
Next time go surf for porn or something, I for one am bored with your ‘intelligent’ monologues.
ps…we wouldn’t have won the war of independence without LaFayette’s help vs the British, and he was French. Go read a book.
wait, french? I thought the only battle the french won was against the french. Also, Napoleon doesn’t count cause he wasn’t actually french.
How stupid is that. Napoleon was born in Corsica, which is just as French as Paris. But coming from someone living in a country where 65% of the people can’t place Irak on a map even though they’ve a war going on there, nothing will surprise me…
At least they can spell “Iraq”
PWN’d.
America is a republic (just putting that out there. it like fishing and waiting for something to bite)
have fun with the english misteaks to lolz
it is americas thought that they have a right to controll the entire world and poke their noses into things that do not concern them that and there ridiculous twang in their accent
how do you do, dolt
You make the mistake of assuming that this is Americas thought. This is the action of our leadership that we really have a huge lack of control over. I’m sure there are plenty of Americans who feel that we can run the world, but there are plenty that don’t. I’m sure whatever country your from is most likely the same. There are some of you who feel one way and some who feel the opposite. What makes America grand is that we are allowed to disagree, it’s countries that don’t allow you that freedom to disagree that are a problem.
And yes, the actions of our Government does play a large role in what’s wrong in the world today, but the actions of our government are effective because they are profitable to many people of many nationalities, so if you think your own governments don’t have a role in the current world situation, you’re dumb.
got bored around half way through… you write too much, but anyhu america is hardly a democratic country where everyone is equal… you don’t have free healthcare so if your poor you get to die quiker and it seems to be president now you have to be related to an ex-president and the media is run by the government alowing them to tell you whatever crap they come up withand to worship america what with all your annoying flag ceromoies.
here in GREAT Brittain (it’s not called that for no reason) we can say whatever we want don’t have the death penalty get free healthcare and even have a Scottish prime minister when Scottland has it’s own parliment
First of all, I laughed out loud at the idea of the government running the media. You could not be more wrong.
Secondly, aside from all your other numerous misspellings, you can’t even spell the name of your own country?
Finally, there is no such thing as “free” healthcare. How much tax do you pay in the UK compared to what is paid in the US? You’re still paying for it, you have just allowed the government to take your money and dictate your medical decisions. Not a better idea.
if you haddn’t noticed our government hasn’t wasted billions of any form of currency on rubbishy space missions which even when successful achive very little so less tax money goes there
OK but at least could you guys use less petrol (gasoline) so that the rest of us can have some it’s now the eqivilent of $ 10.88 a gallon (in case you think my maths is wrong it’s £1.45 per litre)
well don’t tell me this isn’t true because an american told me this …
in america mexican immigrants have to work in factorys for ford earning $1 a day
Allow me to be thew medium. Every country has it’s differences. Both the UK and America are very beautiful countries. We’ve made our own mistakes. We have had crap leaders and have VERY different opinions. Admit it, NO country is perfect.
if it’s yourleaders fault and the majority think differently how come you havn’t voted in a good leader … america is a democracy isn’t it?
No, I believe (If my memory serves me correctly…) that the United
States of America is a Constitutional Republic, which is SUPPOSED to
uphold basic freedoms and the Laws that we were founded on.
Of course, many of our Bureaucratic leaders believe in ignoring those
facts. And who pays the price? Its citizens. Not to mention outlying
countries. Remember: Democracy = Mob rule (More or Less).
And the majority of our citizens refuse to acknowledge the fact, that
we do not elect our presidents. Electoral colleges do. But answer me
this question: How are we supposed to trust that those we send to elect
to choose who we as citizens choose for? We can’t!
Elections and politics are all one in the same in form, and that form
is War.
Remember this (I can’t recall who quoted this first…):
“The first thing to die in war is, the Truth.”
Policy, and Politics in the USA needs a revolution, because the pigs in
D.C. right now (Democrat, and Republican alike) aren’t going to do
the job right.
*Phew*
Okay. I’ll shut up now. Just had to get that off of my mind.
This is a bad assumption. Our plan is actually to take over the world by controlling the oil industry. I would also like to point out that my pizza > your pizza. Also, Microsoft = Fail, their commercials are made on a mac… why? cause Final Cut Pro rules ftw. Thank you for your time
And then there are some Americans who would rather let the world take care of itself and stop wasting our time, money, manpower and resources on trying to fix other countries’ problems. Alas, there are those with hard-ons that want to ruin the U.S. and use religion as an excuse, thus, we must stay involved.
Hahahah!!! Lavish home, making tea lmao. Nice, nice. Epic win
Actually, neither Bush nor Tony Blair etc. are pulling the strings/calling the shots in American or British foreign policy. The idea that our elections determine anything at all was firmly put to rest in 2000 when our election was hijacked. Bush, Blair, current P.M. Gordon Brown – they are just figureheads, reaping a certain amount of financial benefit from the position, and in the case of Bush and Blair, front men. The REAL power lies with the multinational corporations, who are answerable to no one. The myth that the American people (approx 281,000 in 2000 census) are of one homogenous mindset, one political opinion, one level of education or tolerance/intolerance, is a mistaken view. Witness the 51% who did NOT vote for Bush! Many people I personally know are vehemently against the war in Iraq. Some of them protest, stand outside in cold & rain, etc. to make known their opinion. (Not me, I am physically disabled). These people are not concerned with the patriot/traitor labelling war that has been propagated by the current administration. I can be loyal to America, appalled at 9/11, want the perpetrators brought to justice (whomever they are), equally appalled at America’s blatant intervention in the governments of many foreign countries to suit it’s financial benefit (starting just after post WW II, leading through the 50’s and 60’s, & up until this very day), horrified at the terrorist activity all over the world, but more than anything, I am loyal to the Constitution of the United States. (Damaged and betrayed as it is). We, the American people, have had our Rights (which a few short decades ago were proud to advertise) abrogated. And, most of our people have been hoodwinked, or hypnotized, into believing this curtailment of our freedoms are good for us. In the name of SECURITY. (Perhaps some Americans are just too stupid to notice that they were taken from us during the past 20 odd years). We, the People, don’t have a damn thing to do with what our country does.
End of monologue. Go back to your petty name calling.
incase you wern’t aware Blair has had nothing to do with politics since he retiered around about 1 year ago … american ignorance fail
Heh, we’re not all stereotypical snobs who stop to have a cup of tea every five minutes, y’know.
And if you knew the slightest thing about British politics, you’d know that it wasn’t up to us to keep Blair or not.
As for winning the WW, who was it that took half the war to get involved? And who was it that was in it, fighting from the beginning? While it is true that we needed America’s help, the war would have ended a damn sight sooner if you had “the balls” (as you so eloquently put it) to start fighting sooner.
So 2/3 of your argument is FAIL to begin with.
What lack of an annoying accent? Y’all think ya gots no accent?
Aye, right.
Some American accents are much more annoying than many English accents. And yes I mean English. All the sterotyping you listed there, only applies to England, so presumably you like many others assume that Britain = England and England = Britain.
Epic Geography FAIL.
Who won the war is irrelevant – thousands of people lost the fucking war. They died, for no good reason – since neither of our countries are any better now than they were before. Loser.
Gotta love Americans. Poor little misguided creatures! They always love to talk about how great they are and how they protect the world. Lets see how good you knowledge of history really is…did you know your “White House” was burnt down? Do you know who did it? No…maybe you should go and do a little research.
r u Steve Janson of Bury st Edmunds? and let me guess it was you who burnt down the white house
“and so the actual occupation of Washington lasted about 26 hours. President Madison and the rest of the government quickly returned to the city.”
Perhaps the fact that it lasted little more than a day, and how we quickly recovered, left less of an impact on our developing brains than the evening news.
INTERNET FIGHT!!!!
i love this debate i’ve been able to wind up so many people which is so fun
Big-arena, over-the-top American arrogance FAIL! How clearly you demonstrate the big-headed elitistism that the world hates you for.
Once accused of something, why not do it? I mean, if you gotta do the time you might as well do the crime, right?
Umm, how can you tell he’s British by the way? Australians (and occasionally Canadians) use the ‘Mum’ spelling too! Your ridiculous rant could have been for nothing!
And I have to say, nothing against Americans in general but the American accent has to be one of the most ear-grating on the planet.
As for the ‘Fight for Freedom’ you’re ranting about, presumably you’re talking about the American Revolution? Well, you threw our TEA into the harbour! I’m afraid you brought that war on yourselves.
Not this time.
Ya, your an idiot. Different countries and civilizations adopt different ways of spelling and a different adoption of words. For example Spain’s Spanish is not the same as Mexican Spanish. Stupid Brit.
Oh by the way Mac’s are awesome! I bought a MacBook just for the hardware and I was going to run Window’s on Bootcamp as soon as i got it…Guess what?! I stayed with OSX not only because it’s easy but because all the bloatware (I.E. programs that suck and don’t work), unnecessary forms of a program designed to do something then do it completely wrong, and extremely annoying viruses are a thing of the past. Yes I have to bootcamp all the games I want to play but it’s worth it at the price of having a more sophisticated os, plus I still have Finale, Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, not to mention all the OSX programs like Aperture and Ilife. Oh by the way all you microsoft fan boys look it up a laptop with the same hardware from sony is the same price as a macbook, or if your going for something that rivals a MBP Alienware computers are awesome but extremely expensive. Mac rocks end of story.
Contradiction Fail
microsoft usually doesnt run on macs though
knowledge fail
I believe Vivian meant that most people who use Macs don’t run the Windows OS on them.
Microsoft runs??? Are you talking about Windoze?
I think the idea is that Microsoft choose to use a Mac computer, whether or not they have MS Office or even a Microsoft OS running on it, fact is they are still using Mac. You could have any brand of laptop running Microsoft apps and/or OS – Sony, Dell etc.. but fact is, they chose to use Mac!! ha ha ha
Fail. Buying a mac laptop as a Microsoft employee is still supporting OSX, the competitor, even if you dual boot.
Nice try, Ballmer!
Im on a microsoft laptop right now….
Yeah. It’s called bootcamp. Split your hard drive and voila,
you has windows and mac : )
I love windows. For me it works like Stevie Wonder driving a bus. It crashes! 8^D
Might I point out that this would be ridiculously easy to photoshop?
Microsoft isn’t a brand of laptop, but if you buy ANY kind of laptop other than a mac, you will get microsoft software. But either way, i have to agree with “oreo” microsoft sucks!!!
understanding-difference-between-hardware-and-software FAIL
Understanding-who’s-your-competition Fail
Actually, it’s an “understanding-who’s-your-competition” win. Infiltrate your competitors hardware with your software….
Actually, it’s a “long-term business strategy” fail. Making Office for Mac (or iTunes of Windows) to infiltrate the other lot’s user base is one thing; openly endorsing your opponent’s competing product, introducing their hardware and software (the latter of which is directly competing with your own) to your own user base (who are used to buying cheap shonky crap from the likes of Dell whom you have bribed and bullied to push your shitty OS upon customers)…
It’s as if Nintendo were demonstrating their old SNES titles by running them on a PSP through emulation. Oh, wait, Rareware (under MS ownership) keep making Nintendo games to pay the bills, so I guess it’s nothing new
Right, have fun switching out parts to your mac. Oh I’m sorry they are glued in there…..
Dammit! If only I could be trapped in a neverending cycle of planned obsolescence, being forced to make piecemeal upgrades to my hardware every five minutes!
Win!
If by 5 minutes you mean every 5 years you might have a valid point, but you don’t.
lol too bad pcs take about 5 minutes to get overrun with virtual memory that they’re too slow to even turn on. have fun buying new parts for that
like apple hardware never fails… oh, well, i guess you can learn how to type with one or two keys less…
They are? Then why have I successfully replaced everything from logic boards to RAM in every Apple I’ve ever owned?
Why is it whenever Microsoft and Macintosh get brought together, you fucking geeks always have to make like some nigger gangs arguing over the differences.
intollerance win
spelling fail
You’re gonna have to pay for that egregious use of the “n” word, you know…
I agree with your comment none the less…
Oh my bad, “African-American socialist gangs”
THat’s better XD!
I hat political correctness too.
Then you’re on my birthday party list.
The modern emphasis on being less offensive to other people offends me.
that is to say…
Oh screw it, I just want a birthday party invite!
Yeah it socks..
Tradition. Think of them as older fanboys!
Written on a mac, by a guy who appreciates the good points and differences of both systems.
Comment fail.
yeah everone knows microsoft is better because it’s compatible with like everything and it’s easy for normal people to use
If you don’t suffer viruses, malware, random illegal operation warnings and a five year catchup period to stuff like Exposé like the rest of us you’re not a real man.
r u still running on 95 or somthing??
oh i get it you’ve got that new rubbishy vista software havn’t you … you know they put that into a realy smart computer and it downgradded it’self back to XP because it realised it was faster more compatible with other software and just generally better
tbh, Vista isn’t all that bad. Sure demand for XP is still there because people don’t want to upgrade because of having to upgrade their systems to run it properly.
And to the beginning of this argument… Its called End User Opinon. If you don’t like it keep it to your fucking self. If i really wanted to know what was better i’d actaully go to someone who know what they are talking about and not some little kid who thinks he own the internet.
Grow Up
I’m not a real man then ; ;
Don’t spew your opinions in your reply about something my original post protests
‘normal people?’
Give it some time, mac will be out-selling microsoft soon enough.
Their total sales have gone up 40-something percent in the past year alone.
welcome to 2008.
After reading way more comments on this pic than I should have, I think: what if someone just photoshopped it? haha… people believe everything they see on the internet…
Oreo is a nwb
i hate to cry photoshop but the color of the laptop isn’t white or black like apple has, it’s like a two color laptop which apple doesn’t make.
Welcome to the amazing world where Apple makes grey laptops (high end MacBook Pro) and (even more amazing) shadows exist.
Shadow-noticing fail.
wow, you guys are nubs. Apple execs gave a presentation prior to microsoft. this is old news.
Apple geeks do not want to hear that Macs may be inferior in some manner. Ever.
wow, retarded. Balmer gave a presentation after the apple douches, they left it up there after they tried to explain why you should buy a 399$ Iphone, then an additional 150$ a year just for internet.
Nope this is a photo shop. Look at the contrast levels in gimp of photoshop. The logo is completely out of place.
Microsioft fails at promos,… THEY FAIL AT FAILING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mac sucks. Windows Sucks. Unix sucks. Ok? k. Awesome.
whatabout the more obvious spelling FAIL of ‘graduated’.. ‘graduates’?
Microsoft makes the operating system windows not the cimputers ad macs can use windows they are probably using windows on a mac because the hardware is more reliable. and the only reason all u mac users tryto put down microsoft is becuse theier operating system is superior and u are all just in secure and dont know how to use computers so u go with the user friendly ones
Laugh? .. I allmost pissed myself
grammer fail^^
when my dad went on a microsoft training course most of the microsoft ppl were using mac’s just running windows with bootcam or VMWARE
Haha They dont get viruses that way LOL
Microsoft doesn’t wanna get infected by viruses so they use macs lol. Microsoft workers are smarter than they look LoL.
Yeah, and offcourse apple users get so few virusses because it’s not an interesting group for virus-coders… To few systems.
Sad true but… fallacy.
True: “apple users get so few virusses because it’s not an interesting group for virus-coders”
But: mac os x is Unix. Unix is self-secure just because use an ancient (40 year) security layout based on users account and security privileges. the same happen on windows since win-nt but they use an flexible layout wich give a normal user administratives capabilities. Conclussion: It’s easier code a virus to mess with windows than any Unix-based system (like Mac).
yep, mac osx is just a linux distru with a price tag.
Fail, it’s Unix. And yes that’s a significant difference.
Haw haw, FAIL. It’s called BSD, dumbass. If Mac OSX was based on Linux, Apple would have to provide it for download free of charge (they could still charge for CD/DVD installation media, manuals, and support.) The BSD license says, “You can keep changes you make to this stuff to yourself.” The GPL says, “You have to share every change you make to this.” One license safeguards freedom for the developer, the other protects the freedoms of the user.
freeware fail
there are many $$$ Linux distros out there in the enterprise world
red hat, novell, etc,
research fail
Those linux distros that cost are only like that because they come bundled with software that costs money, but you actually still pay nothing for the actual operating system itself.
fail fail,
you are actually paying for support
osx is based on darwin BSD. here you go. OSX without the candy. right here .

Ancient = 40 years?
Getting old fail.
That’s ancient in computer time. Especially when ENIAC was built only 65 years ago. That’s like ENIAC being the beginning of the Earth and UNIX being the end of the dinosaurs.
Evidence shows that the earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago, and the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. In your analogy, if 65 years ago is equivalent to the formation 4.5 billion years ago, then the end of the dinosaurs would be near the end of July 2007.
lol did you calculate that or it was just random¿?
No I looked up the times for Earth formation and dinosaur extinction.
65mil / 4.5bil = x/65
x = .939 years = 342.7 days
Today – 343 days = July 25, 2007
Metaphoric interpretation: fail.
Literally combing the desert: success.
Use of the word ‘literally’: FAIL.
Actually it was a simile because he said, “That’s like….”
simile is a type of metaphor.
cheng bu si ian cha?
No, similes and metaphors are both analogies but similes are not metaphors.
In the interest of balance, it should be taught in schools that many people believe that God created ENIAC and all other forms of computer software 4,000 years ago.

yes yes and that mountain dew is the greatest soda in the world.

You’re drinking something that’s pretty damn near piss.
And that Mountain Dew contains yellow5

Could be using a non-linear scale though
Could be a non-linear scale…
double-posting FAIL
Impressive. But I wasn’t using an exact calculation, I was trying to make a point by showing that it was a long time ago in relation to this stuff.
…Or aging WIN!
Inaccurate explanation fail. Neither user/group nor ACL based permissions are inherently more or less secure, despite what anyone may say. It’s how you use them. For instance, Ubuntu gives the normal user admin capabilities, you just type in your own password again when you need to do admin stuff. But most exploits are NOT due to lax user privilege restrictions, they are due to BUGS. Microsoft has more BUGS and they don’t fix them as fast, that is the real reason it is easier to write a virus for Windows.
Nope, it is not bugs. The vast, vast majority of viruses and trojans do not take advantage of any bugs in the OS. They take advantage of stupid users who download and run infected shareware or other malicious programs (porn sites and warez sites are filled to the brim with bogus software that just installs trojans and viruses).
The more serious viruses that infect the core system on Windows work solely because almost every single Windows PC is running with a user with full Administrator privileges. A lot of quite useful/interesting trojans and viruses don’t even need Administrator privileges, though. Even non-privileged users can run spam trojans or programs that report private information or ad popup programs on the user’s data.
Linux is more resistant to such things solely because it’s such a major pain in the ass to install third party software. There is no easy way to just grab a program from a website and install it. You are forced to install software from the distribution’s software repository (unless you want to go through a lot of extra work), so it’s a lot harder for viruses and trojans to be introduced to a user’s computer.
Interesting thread fail.
Nerds in pointless internet argument FTW.
wall of text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean… i read blah blah blah blah blah blah blah … lemme adjust my nerd glasses… blah blah blah blah
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
TL;DR win!
Actually, the “it’s not an interesting group for virus-coders” is the main reason. Most viruses are written by true geeks who therefore use a Linux system. Therefore they don’t want to risk fucking up their own systems and possibly remove the ability to fuck up other people’s systems.
In conclusion, no significant viruses exist for Linux because the people who write viruses use Linux.
So the virus-makers ARE smart. XD
Virus-makers are on the payroll of Anti-Virus manufactures.
Nothing new.
Agree with that..
knowing the difference between to and too FAIL.
History fail. Windows is built on MS-DOS–an operating system designed at a time when a computer was a “one-user” machine. Some people didn’t anticipate using them in networks and so security was not built in. When networking and the internet came along, security had to be tacked on rather than built-in; their installed base was too big to move. Microsoft has been trying to tack it on ever since. Conversely, networking and the need for security were givens by 1984 when Mac OS came along. It has always been harder to hack Mac OS for that reason, so no one wasted the effort.
It’s still difficult or someone would have done something on a scale like Blaster or Sasser already.
History fail fail. Windows XP and Vista are not based off of MS-DOS, they are based off of NT, which was built from the ground up as a networked server OS. The last Microsoft OS to use MS-DOS was Windows Me (may it burn in Hades).
Problem is that the NT systems are still based off of the same user setup. A retarded monkey could install something without the admin’s permission onto a NT system and royally screw it up, while on the other hand a unix/linux based operating system has to have root access, or administrator access for all you nubs who have no clue what root is, to change any system files and accomplish what a normal virus sets out to do. The only real way you get easy virus access like you would on a windows box is if the person who set up the unix/linux OS logs in as root every time he boots, which is just idiotic.
Just rofl…
More history fail:
“networking and the need for security were givens by 1984″…
First Mac (released in 1984) didn’t have networking (at least in the OS itself). No networking or security were in the original design, they were just hacked above the mess the classic Mac OS was. Also note that Mac OS 9 != Mac OS X.
You can still get viruses if you are running Windows on your Mac. But they only affect the Windows partition of the hard drive.
FIRST
Anonymos rulez!!
Stop trying to pretend you are me. You fail as First and you fail as “Anonymos”.
Anonymous fails at correcting spelling for anonymous, and double fails since ananymos is probably what he wanted to use.
Triple fail. Here’s the recap:
1. ananymos misspells “Anonymous” as “Anonymos”
2. Anonymous corrects ananymos’s erroneous spelling of “Anonymous”
3. Another anonymous user declares a fail on Anonymous’s part, thinking that Anonymous was correcting ananymos’s use of his *own* name, when in fact he was correcting ananymos’s use of *his* name (Anonymous’s).
Therefore, the anonymous third poster failed at declaring a double fail, which means he triple fails.
It’s spelt “anonymous” you dick.
Not “ananymos” or “anonymos”
It’s spelled “spelled” you dick.
Not “spelt.”
I don’t know what we’re yelling about. Cries.
Brick Tamland? Is that you?

MS own a lot of Apple stock and write some programs for mac like the office suite and stuff so not that fail.
This was the first thing I thought of too.
Microsoft’s share in Apple is not insignificant. In many ways it is good business practice for them to use Apple computers; it essentially costs them less as the profits feed back to Microsoft.
I don’t see fail here, as far as it is an Apple Computer with Windows running. Which is actually getting quite common.
Usually the laptops used in presentations are provided by the host.
That’s what I thought too. When we have guest lecturers they just use whatever computer’s already there.
Proof read fail? Shouldn’t the slide read “Graduates” instead of “Graduated”?
fail WIN!
Yep. Darn, I thought I was the first to notice that part.
Misdirected fail!
Potential Syntax Error Accusation Fail. I’m think they’re using “graduated” to me “To arrange or divide into categories, steps, or grades.” As in the many software categories that Microsoft plans to offer in BLDI in the future.
Although I can’t rule out that they screwed up the slide either.
exactly. all that b.s. about the microsoft/apple stuff — pointless. the real fail is the typo on the screen.
Say what you will about Microsoft, but they employ some very smart people.
Yes. I agree with you.
Steve Ballmer would be an idiot to use a Microsoft system.
this isn’t that funny as microsoft only produce software and as such don’t make laptops and so they had to get one off someone
Yeah, Microsoft produces OS’s (ohessess?)
Apple produces Os’s and hardware.
Apples hardware is superior.
A top of the line PC costs more than a Mac of the equivalent power (which sounds wierd until you think about it, even though mac seem so damn expensive).
Apple OS’s are less prone to virus attacks.
Microsoft Os’s can run games.
In the end it comes down to which os you want to run…on Mac hardware.
PS – I’m not really focusing this anywhere. Read it if you wish. It’s my opinion, so don’t be offended.
Great reasoning. Conclusion? Mac hardware an Microsoft os is the intelligent choice? so sad, but that’s how things are now.
I have a dream, a dream where Blizzard develope games for Linux.
He, you are in my dream!
Yeah.
WoW runs perfectly on linux (in WINE or Cedega) or so I’m told.
I myself currently use Windows solely because of the games. I’m going to get a laptop and put Ubuntu or PcLinuxOS on it.
—
I have a dream.
I dream where there is no Microsoft.
Where there is no anti-competitive business, or stupid profiteering schemes such as one that happened a while ago, where MC were planning to charge Dual Core users twice as much because “They’re using it on two computers”.
—
When Microsoft dies, who will be queueing up to spit on their collective marketing grave? I will be. XD
A top of the line PC cannot cost more than a Mac of equivalent power because such a beast of a Mac does not–cannot, because of the way Apple does things–exist. The video processing alone on a top of the line PC would rival the processing power of the CPUs on high-end Macs. (Yes, there’s really that much oomph in a setup with triple GTX 260s.)
I’ve got a top of the line iMac (3.0 ghz quad core) and it is amazing. I also have vista on a laptop and it is amazing, but for a different reason. Vista is the worst thing microsoft has ever done.
No, that would have been Windows Me
Windows Millenium Edition was the most stable Windows environment for
home PC’s. It was based on the Windows 2000 core, which was the most
stable Windows OS ever. I was very reluctant to switch to XP, but as I
spend a lot of time building custom computers, I switched to XP and eventually Vista just to learn them.
And no I’m not againt Apple computers or Mac OS. I just find the people that defend them until the cows come home to extraordinarily obnoxious.
I’ve seen Windows ME in action…. my old copy of 98SE was far, far
more stable than that.
Wild inaccuracy fail! ME has nothing to do with 2000 (though the names appear to mean the same). It’s basically the Windows98 core, sitting on MS-DOS, only not as usable as 98SE. Windows 2000 (which I am running at this very moment), is NT technology.
heh. windows ME = FAIL 1.1, vista = FAIL 1.2
At that rate, FAIL 1.3 should launch in about 2015. In computer years, that’s a long time. Perhaps MS doesn’t fail as much as people think.
Also, I’m willing to bet 80-90% of you are making these comments on a computer that runs a Microsoft OS.
I see your point, and I admit I probably was mistaken with the analogy.
You are possibly right, and I know that a top of the line PC can be anything. THe best PC in the world, if you bought the best (and congrously expensive) parts you could be paying in up to 5 digits. Macs to not offer such a high degree of power, but they are more hardware efficient; Taking less power to do the same jobs as PCs.
Anyway, thank you for the comment.
PS – I was probably meaning to say “A top-of-the-line Mac costs less than a PC of the equivalent power”. And thus the argument is solved!
um…macs can have over 4 terrorbites…how much more does a home computer need?
anymore would only be for a major company…and that is what windows is for. windows=business and mac=for the individual’s computer
Of course, you could construct your own laptop/desktop. Bulletproof, if you’ve got the skills.
Mac translation of component failure: Failure occurs outside 1-year warranty, no repair extension program available for widespread failure of component. Buy a new computer.
PC translation of component failure: Component covered under 3-year warranty by manufacturer. Replace component. Keep on computin’!
Spoken as an AASP who’s given more bad news to Apple owners than PC owners.
Fail 1 = Apple Care
Fail 2 = Just because you don’t seem to be able to replace Mac components, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible …
you guys spout too much technical words i’m confused
Product placement FAIL!
Haha indeed!
Strange, when I tried to install windows vista on my mac, it exploded.
Vista exploded?
would not be surprised
If it exploded, I think you get an, “Intalling an OS .. you’re doing it wrong,” award.
installing
When I tried to do virtually anything on any of the six Macs I’ve used at work, they’ve exploded (metaphorically, at least). The last one I used was the best – in the three years I used it, the hard drive only crashed once, which made it about twice as reliable and durable as any of the others.
Thankfully we’ve recently switched to Dell laptops so I can do things like use web browsers without having them crash “unexpectedly” half a dozen times a day.
Putting Vista on a Mac? May as well give a baby a lobotomy…
Huh, when I put Vista on a Mac I was actually able to run the software I needed for work on it. Then I missed my right-click button (and don’t go telling me that “ctrl-click” is just as good, because that requires two hands rather than one finger), sold the Mac and am happily running Windows.
A usb mouse with 2 buttons still works on mac. I use both my mouse buttons in MacOSX all the time.
and the two-finger click on the track pad works the same also.
Buying a new computer instead of getting a new mouse fail.
VISTA is true OS FAIL!
It’s not a fake, it was a talk by Steve Ballmer that took place at UCL (Université catholique de louvain) (Louvain-la-neuve) about 2 month ago. I was at the presentation but Steve did’nt use the laptop, it was provided by the host as said above…
second?
No… not even close
Microsoft didn’t fail, it’s the only right thing they ever did.
So they win here, but they fail at life. That’s an even greater FAIL
Wow people. Lighten up
Sense of humor FAIL!
MicroSoft is eating the apple. They are much more powerfull and everybody love them. The are like a superhero with their great computers. This Mac is used only to show how much apple sucks.
You’re mentally retarded, aren’t you?
yes
who cares if it’s a fake it’s still funny
Rumour has it that Redmond has the largest Mac user group of the USA…
just because you work for someone doesn’t mean that you have to use their products.
thats a winner in efficiency
I don’t see the fail. You’d expect Microsoft to test their programs for Macintosh. So surely there are quite a lot of Macintosh computers at Microsoft.
um it looks like it’s been photoshopped…
reading previous posts before posting stupid comments FAIL.
If Steve B. sees that it would be a win for the “office-chair” industry
ROFL
:D:D Thats a hard fail 
worthy-of-fail-blog fail.
1. Could be running Windows (I know lots of people that say Vista runs GREAT on a Mac).
2. May not have had a choice on the laptop running the slides.
3. May be photoshopped.
4. who gives a crap?
There is no fail in the Apple computer at a microsoft function. However, has anyone else noticed the title of the function? “Business Leadership and Digital Innovation for Future Graduated?”
Future Graduated WHAT?! Looks like a grammar fail to me!
Gee, HAS anyone else noticed that??? Hmmm, I wonder how you could have figured that out before posting this comment???
.
Reading FAIL.
everything that has ever happened was photoshopped.
The pyramids, the roman empire, the world wars, 9/11… Yes! Everything was photoshopped
This comment was photoshopped.
You’re photoshopped!
Even Photoshop is photoshopped…
Corel Draw has not been Photoshopped
This entire thread is a photoshop plugin.
your mom is photoshoppped. logical ending to that thread…
Closure win.
Corel Paintshop Pro’d your Closure.
And will be photoshopped again!
Verdana fail..
Una Pizza Verdana per favore!
I love pizza
I can’t see the fail.
Windows Vista and Windows XP is running fine on a Mac Book Pro. I can even run OS X.5 and Vista in parallel on my iMac. This is a total WIN. You can’t do this with a standard PC (without OS X hacks *g*).
You can’t do it on a PC only because Apple forbids it.
at least they will not get BSoD
No, but they can get the Beachball of Death.
It’s difficult to take in all these Microsoft fanboys trying to defend them. Some serious Stockholm syndrome going on here!
Saying that Microsoft’s CEO tacitly endorsing their main competitor’s product whilst lecturing about business leadership is not fail is kind of like saying there’d be nothing remotely fail about Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrating the library of SNES games available on Wii by publicly emulating them on a PSP.
The only question to my mind is which group are more fail – Microsoft for helping Apple sell one of their flagship products, or Microsoft users who still rush to their spouses defence after decades of “falling down the stairs”…
Or maybe you fail? There is ONE major difference in the two situations. Which is basically the difference that makes this a pretty good idea, while the Miyamoto example is not so good. Giving your competitor a thumbs-up = bad idea. But Apple and Microsoft aren’t competitors in hardware. If he was running OS X on the computer, yes, it would be a fail.
All this is, is a nod at them saying: Yeah, your hardware is pretty good.
Miyamoto and Nintendo are fighting against Sony in both hardware and software, which is why endorsing Nintendo software on Sony hardware is bad, because that could move market shares from Nintendo’s hardware to Sony’s hardware. However… If Microsoft endorses Apple hardware, it’s not as if people will instantly start buying less microsoft hardware… as Microsoft doesn’t make hardware.
Realising that buying Mac hardware also invariably entails buying Microsoft’s main competitor in the OS market fail.
Microsoft does make Office for MAC…they could be showing it off.
HAHAHAHA
i love this site!! check out a similar one at worldoffail.com
Loyalty FAIL.
better fail access WIN.
I’ve seen this myself – at Designertopia. It was a 2-day seminar aimed at designers, encouraging them to try Expression tools. Most of the speakers, including MS people, were using MacBook Pros … but they were running Vista under BootCamp. They deemed the machines to be the most solid with Vista. Another way of looking at it is that Vista is not stable on a lot of PCs, though
True. Vistability FAIL
real FIRST-one firsts first
What the fail?
I think that was a typo fail…he meant to say “fist.”
far from FIRST!
Photoshop…fail
I LOVE it!
They could be demonstrating how the Mac version of Microsoft Office runs on a Mac…Doesn’t that concept blow your mind?
Looks like an old Compaq with an apple logo slapped on (using photoshop or otherwise.)
Yes I worked on some at a coop placement. That is in fact an old Compaq laptop.
Last?
nerd stench all over the board= FAIL

Looks like your sister picked up the phone on your AOL connection.
dude thats gross !
You can’t tell which operating system this computer is using based on this image. It has a power-point style image taking up the whole screen. And since both operating system use this type of program there is no for sure way to say which operating system this computer is using.
Spelling out the bleedin’ obvious WIN
Capital Fail
Not working Pass
it’s a fake. Apple’s notebooks look different
Not a fail at all, shows how compatible microsoft (windows) software is. even laptops designed for a diffrent OS work fine!
Mr. Gates, haven’t you retired yet? Get the hell out of your office and leave us alone.
Ummmm who cares about which OS its running…
is funny picture… now stop your whining!
“Microsoft FAIL” = Redundancy WIN!
you have to admit it is a little silly to have an Apple product at a Microsoft function.
regardless of hardware/software, the public still views them as “corporate enemies”
MEEOOOOOW
The only market in which they could seriously be pitted against one another as “enemies” would be the iPod vs. Zune battle. While the zune is a superior piece of hardware, the iPod wins because it hit the market much earlier and has superior aftermarket support.
You think the Zune is superior to the iPod touch?… Or a 160GB Classic? Err, is that because of its wonderful “music sharing” features? Gimme a break, I’ll take Senuti and a USB-to-dock cable or a headphone Y-splitter over a battery-consuming WiFi DRM-ridden music transfer any day of the week… And while on the subject of WiFi, the zune doesn’t even have a fully featured browser like that of the iPod Touch (if you don’t count Flash support, which isn’t sorely missed anyway).
Fanboyism win? (Full disclosure: I own an 80 GB iPod Classic, and while there are certainly some “features” the Zune and other competitors have which it lacks, I’d still take it over any of those. However, I hardly consider myself a typical fanboy, as I try my best to play with each new gadget which arrives at my favourite electronics store; usual conclusion: most of them suck a lot on their own, let alone when compared to the iPod. FWIW, I never tried the Zune, as isn’t even avaliable in Europe, but that fact, in and of itself, is preety telling about its overall quality and popularity.)
Maybe Zune doesn’t have a web browser or cover flow… but those are the only true advantages of iPod Touch over the second generation Zunes in my opinion. The touchscreen just says “fingerprint magnet” to me. As for the iPod Classic and all the other variations that have the wheel, they all fail compared to the second generation Zune. What good is a circular control for navigating a linear GUI? I enjoy a world where up means up and down means down… it’s more “simple and intuitive” (to borrow key words from Mac vs. PC) than counterclockwise means up and clockwise means down. The WiFi Zune-to-Zune transfer isn’t that important to me, but the wireless syncing is a great plus. I still have yet to see a Zune 80 in stores, but that’s because they’re selling as quickly as stores can get them in stock. I have, however, seen a display full of unpurchased iPod Touches.
Funny, but I think that’s actually a photoshopped Dell – apple never made a two tone black and silver laptop – then went straight from black to silver to white, always ALWAYS solid colors (except for the hobbit iMacs, those were the only colored and two-toned apples)
Dude, it’s the shadow from the Microsoft sign.
Fail.
Did no one catch the spelling fail ? “For future GraduateD” shouldn’t this say for future graduates?! Fail
Srsly? You’re kidding with this comment, right?
Posted several hours before you.
Reading comprehension FAIL.
I think it should read, “Business Leadership and Digital Innovation for Future, Graduated”, but what was presented was a run-on, or something like that. Still, I don’t think it makes sense. I dunno. I’m playing devil’s advocate.
I wish I had never decided to read the comments.
You know the site is much funnier without them.
I hope you all get sick and die.
Wouldve been funnier if they were running Linux too
I’m with you, Anonymous. This is the most disgusting forum I’ve ever seen — just a bunch of losers letting out thier pent up angst by pointing out spelling mistakes and Photoshopped photographs. You’re all subhuman. Do yourselves all a favor and have a suicide party.
That’s the troll equivalent of posting on a CNN forum about why there are so many stupid news stories. It’s the whole point of the site.
Kill yourself.
I’ll get right on it. And by on it, I mean your Mom.
Your wit cuts like a laser.
Ooo man. That’s a burn.
Your mom jokes should stay in your Grade 3 play area, and are to be used only when your reading/writing teacher lets you out for your play-time.
PS – XD Fail.
FIRST !!!!!
So…. Much… Fail….
Does anyone see a problem with the verbiage on the slide?
Methinks they wrote something that sounded profound, hoping no one would notice.
FAIL!
u r all fail at getting laid
good comment FAIL
We use nothing but Macs in the graphics department where I work. About 300+ Macs. This is now hanging on the wall.
My husband works for Microsoft and from some of the stories I hear, it’s no wonder they’re using Apples. He has an Apple and a Linux box on which he does his “real” work. If MS wants him to do something specifically for MS, he uses a PC with Vista. LOL
Yep… first thing I saw was the “graduated.” I guess hiring me as an editor wasn’t an all bad choice for my current employer.
Using the reply link fail.
Hee!
Though, I suppose the meaning could be different. Therein lies the key to anything written: know the audience; know the intent.
This was a presentation Steve Ballmer took right after a guy that had an apple computer just finished…
Great job at failing…
This I know, but fanby-baiting is so much fun though.
Fanboy* should I say.
I don’t know if anyone else agrees or has noticed this, But I think it looks like the computer’s been added into the picture or something. Like with some sort of picture-altering technology, if thats possible.
I don’t think this is a legitimite or real picture because it doesn’t look like one…
http://www.flickr.com/photos/choubistar/2439499170/
Another picture from a different angle – NOT photoshopped.
I confirm, I was there with Choubistar, no fake… (he’s a Mac user, btw)
not knowing what photoshop is fail!
What is Photoshop?
Where you buy photo’s that are set up or not real?
Or a place where you take photo’s to change them?
Photoshop is a photo editing program.
Knowledge FAIL.
Still don’t quite understand how that technology would work..
Once you take a Photograph it has been taken. and you can’t “edit” it.
Unless there is something like a CD drive where you insert the photograph you took into the computer and then you can change the content of it somehow, i suppose. If that is what this Photoshop thing does.
Oh my god Fail! Epic phail!
It’s called digital photography. It’s been around for a long time.
Hey guess what???
I was kidding in every single one of my posts above in this quote!!!
And you all believed I was for real!!
I mean seriously, you think that there would really be someone who didn’t know what photoshop or digital photography was??
LOLOLOLOL
Man this is the funniest thing in days!!!!
Agreed!
Sarcasm WIN!
Trolling win.
I can’t help it. It’s summer vacation, i’m bored…

Am I the only one who noticed the typo? Let’s try “graduates” instead of “graduated.”
Mac slaves mistaking their computer for an ideology fail.
Mac=fail(cant play games, plus mac commercials and fans are retarded. “I couldnt even figure out how to turn it on”-actual quote from a mac commercial in refference to PCs) Plus isnt a mac a PC too (Personal Computer)
Vista=fail
XP=win now that it works.
Win 95= epic win
Well, theres a possibilty they’re using it because the MBP ran windows faster than any other notebook in 2007…

Failblog fail to fail Micro-fail: “Digital innovations for future graduated” – not graduates?
do you people realize that MS products are software based? Not hardware based. There are plenty of MS products that will run on Apple hardware, and Apple OS X.
Fail At Failing
i love lamp
wow u ppl are dumb. Microsoft owns a huge chunk of apple.
History fail! They owned a miniscule amount of non-voting stock in 1997 which they sold off as soon as they could.
How many comments do we need on this pic!? You guys are just a bunch of epic fail. Doh! (self referential fail)
I think that the point of this photo is : The creator of Apple had once a society with Bill Gates. They split this, and become to be ‘enemies’. Bill stole the apple’s software and created Windows. This is allmost the history.
I believe that… apple and Microsoft just don’t combine.
sorry for the awful english. I’m had no classes of english. xD
BTW, windows sucks, but i can’t live without it.
WIN fail!
sia mah garoblog kabeh….translation: u guys are very smart. I am proud of you hoomans.
u guys all fail. this was from WWDC08 when they announced the new iPhone 3G. if u watched it, u wuld understand y Microsoft’s logo is there. Apple actually creates programs that are similar to wat Microsoft already has.
That is NOT a MAC computer. It is a dell or something with that apple logo pasted, photoshoped into it. There is no mac that looks like that computer. Which means the apple logo was pasted onto a windows laptop probably AFTER the event in question….
You know, all this Mac/PC fighting could have been avoided if the right fail had been circled.
I’m pretty sure the presentation was for graduates, not “graduated.”
Sentence fail.
I think that’s a bigger ‘fail’ than using the macbook
And an even bigger FAIL is that it took til Lauren’s post to realize it, lol.
That was left by the previous speaker. If you’d been there you would know~!
You know, it does my heart good to see that at least one person had the sense to look beyond the zit on the end of their nose. I suspect, however, that Lauren was being generous in overlooking the fact that the sentence presented had all the content and sentence structure of a colorfully painted garden gnome.
One assumes that this was supposed to be a presentation generated by an allegedly literate adult with a message that was (also allegedly) directed to a literate audience.
Of course, looking at the other comments, I’m not surprised at this. Herein lies the true ‘fail’.
This is the first time I was bored to tears reading the comments on Failblog.
Better than a Dell!
Fail *2 – Graduates – would be what I would expect.
try FAKE! not fail.
Crysis on HIGH @ 80 fps? HAHAHA .. You moron.
I hate to point out the obvious…but MS is a SOFTWARE company (as has been stated before in this thread). Windows is NOT their only product. They sell mac specific software, such as Office for mac. In fact, MS Word was originally a mac software. It was released for mac four years before it was released for Windows….
um i believe this was photoshopped, check the exif data.
this was at CES this last year and i remember the laptop he used being an HP…
i attended this conference…
and for all you fanboys of both companies (Apple, MS) heres a solution:
Mac makes better laptops. you dont ever build your own, and when you want to upgrade you buy a new one. this is their buisness model for both laptops and desktops, but it only works well with laptops.
BUT their desktops are overprices and become worthless within a few years with no way to recover them. (replacing parts with more up to date ones)
Microsoft makes better desktops. You can upgrade them when parts get out of date or if something brakes, and you can build your own.
BUT their laptops suck becuase the parts they use for pre built computers are generally sub-par and break very quickly.
Ok microtards… really… how many bugs, patches, and hotfixes do you really need to understand that whoever can afford a mac will have one (Bill Gates included) Should I remind everyone of the latest upgrade to W-Vista… Windows XP. Really? Or should I bring up the fact that all of a sudden small things like your battery meter or volume tray icon dont come up? Just because its cheap it doesnt mean its good, there is nothing good with windows. If you want flexible, get a pc, install linux in it, if you want a decent laptop, get a fucking Mac.
Argument Fail. Be done with this shit already… (CTRL+ALT+DEL)x2
haha, epic fail
Proof that Apple is better than mircrosoft! Even the microsoft emplyees don’t wan’t to use what they’ve made!
Threading fail…. deep threads are almost unreadable on this site design due to the increasing indent on both sides of the posts.
I would love to participate in this Microsoft vs. Apple failure comment session, but unfortunately I’m not that retarded. Apple kicks butt. End of story. xD
really?
wha
Sentence fail.
mac sucks..end of discusion
windows and mac both fail mac isnt powerful enough for everything and windows isnt as user-friendly. so stop all the annoying arguements you idiotically retarded spelling nerds and enjoy the pictures hypocratical irony? it is talking about windows future and he uses a mac. what is better than that? basically i just burned anyone who tried to promote either side. YOU ALL FAIL…
The sentence on the screen…shouldn’t it say ‘graduates’ instead of ‘graduated’? Double fail!!
I recently saw this happen X 10 – all of the freelancers were running MS’s huge show on Macs right on the front row all during rehearsals under the noses of all of the key speakers.
wow even the company prefers mac
Microsoft actually produces Windows for Mac; therefore, they are not a competitor in this market. They are simply a competitor to Apple’s Mac operating system. Microsoft actually makes money by providing Windows for Mac. This is the biggest goddamn fail of a fail pic ever.
Bah. Anyone notice that the top part of the laptop is shaded differently? Either it’s a trick of the light, or I’m looking at a photoshop job.
You guys are stupid or wat? Microsoft is smart… It shows that even if you use apple you still need microsoft softwares…. Just FYI Microsoft doesnt built computers they create softwares….
Don’t know if this has been mentioned or not but you do know that this photo has been photoshoped right? Think about it, what macbook has that exterior design? None.
Uh my macbookpro has this exterior design..
I think the ‘design’ you are referring to there is the shadow from the Microsoft sign.
Nice observation skills there..
But anyway, Microsoft could also be showing off their mac software.. which they would obviously display on a mac, so there is no problem with microsoft using a Mac.. it’s not fail at all..
Mac computer run on the same intel chipsets that ordinary pcs run on. A mac is different, because Apple was like “FUCK YOU INTEL! MAKE US CUSTOM SHIT!” and now apple has a cpu shaped like a duck pond so it’ll fit with the heat sink. At tremendous expense. And they pass the savings on to you.
I’m gonna go write a virus to ass-fuck OSX.
Also, don’t point out grammatical errors because i’m an engineering student so i don’t give a shit.
classy
Interesting how an Obvious Photo shop can strike such conversation. I not a Mac person and I know Mac’s never looked like that. Of course I own a gateway/emachine that does. Anyone advocating for Mac that can’t tell that that is not a mac ***FAIL***
failure to recognize multiple fails, fail (confused yet?). “Business leadership and digital innovation for future GRADUATED” should be “graduates.”
Wow way to suck the fun out of the fail picture by overanalyzing and nerdifying it to death. Sheesh let it be ppl
has anyone noticed that the pic is photo shopped?
you can see where they cropped a different picture cause its darker where the apple is but around the edges it isnt
look where the laptop borders the desk, you can see an uneven white line where they cropped it
Don’t microsoft own 50%+ of apple (?) and use the apple platform for to test out there newest versions off there office sweet.
Its kinda like a bmw executive driving a mini
Also its probably runing windows and its not like microsft are hardware manufacturers.
anyone consider its photoshopped?…maybe?
lol
They already did. If you had only decided to waste the last 20 minutes of your life reading all the previous posts, like myself, you would know that it isn’t photoshopped.
ultra fail
Worthwhile argument fail
“455 Failures in Communication”
failures i would agree, i have never laughed my ass of so hard just reading the fucking shit u guys write… i had all my friends read it to, they laughed their asses off, you guys want to know why everyone laughed? its cause u guys have nothing better to do with your time than fight each other over some stupid shit like this.
my opinion.. mac and pc are =, very = in fact because they have there own advantages, i cant pick a fav. because when i do i turn into a once sided brainless geek you idiots … so sad.
just pick both and grow the fuck up so we can move on
BTW this whole fucking topic failed -_- sry guys but its true
PS- loved how it went from how computer to countries and back and fourth… who the fuck cares?
I agree with you, but your entire comment was one massive spelling FAIL.
And? why would u care?
I have some bad news for you squabblers. They had the mac so that they could run Mac keynote. My Brother-in-law did tech support for the show. The presentation hardware was coupling properly with vista when they were doing setup. One of the guys had a Macbook, and they exported the show to use in keynote. The presentation hardware worked fine with the Mac. You may continue to squabble for as long as you like, but its settled. Major Microsoft Fail
mac is one of the big competitor of Microsoft hahaha… lyk me i use mac book but the software i used microsoft hahahaha cool thing
Did you know:
Microsoft used an apache server for their microsoft.com site still days after the first relase of win server 2003. I think it shows how a flag works. A flag may looks good but what are their skills?
Apple rules
hi5 from Germany
No argument about it. Definitely Apple win. If anyone argues, Steve Jobs and I will personally come and burn the apple logo into your front lawn. Anyone? No? Okay.
This is not a FAIL, microsoft is a laptop brand… And surely they wouldn’t use MacOS ’cause people would see it at the presentation… Soh there’s no problem.
Sorry ’bout my english, I’m brazilian, but I think you can understand =D
What people are saying is that Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Apples Steve Jobs have a past and Microsoft using an Apple product is contradictory to what people would assume. Either way, can you even say “for future graduated”? wouldnt it be for future graduates?
An extreme shortage of keyboard shortcuts, inconsistency on keyboard shortcuts, and a poor keyboard design, capped by a poor implementation of Unicode support and lack of tools for supporting typing in alternate languages…
Apple fail.
lol. Anyone out there who believes this is not a FAKE???
You can’t seriusly think that Ms won’t hide the apple logo in the very unlikely situation in which they would use a macintosh…
people always fight for supremacy these days
always with the fighting at this rate we’re all screwed
This is just sooooo fail!!!!!
I am a MAC fan you need to know
HYPOCRISY WIN!
Fail = People seemingly finding the need to constantly argue over the efficacious nature of a Mac vs. that of a PC. It really doesn’t matter whether you own one or the other and it’s not really much of a reason to argue.
Isn’t it obvious? The mac was solely there to be smashed with large objects once the presentation began.
It is amazing how rude people are! Why is it impossible to read comment blogs where people are expressing their views politely? Calling people idiots and retards id SO uncalled for. If you want to have a debate, that is fine but don’t be offensive and crude. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I won’t even state mine because I don’t want to be made fun of relentlessly and personally attacked for having an opinion. Have some courtesy for other people please.
Jesus…your a retarded retard! LMFAO
Wow when i was typing “why Microsoft”…… Google suggested “why Microsoft is better then apple” that cant be they cant even use there own computers.
MACs are for people who need their hand held when crossing the street.
im a mac who used a pc (piece of crap)
this is photoshopped. i can tell by teh pixels. you see, i have seen many photoshops in my day.
thats a win
MAC WIN!!!!!!!!!
lol the funny thing is that i’ll be 95% of the mac fanboys on here that are bashing microsoft have an xbox360 and halo, microsoft still as fail as you are proclaiming, boys? And like many others have said, how can mac win so well if almost everyone who uses mac puts windows on it one way or another?
/flex
internet muscles got this.
Hasn’t anyone noticed when we go down this list of fail. Idiots are more common?
look where the mac hits the table, it’s fake
Over the top rebutal win!
